SC - panini and breast related sweets

[Nisha Martin]

Anyone ever heard of Nuns Nipples (outside of the
movie "Amadeus")? If 
so
how far can they be traced back to...if they even do
exist.
Are these anything like St.agathas breats? Those are a
cake that is covered in a white chocolate glaze and
have a cherry for the nipple. I saw them on a "two fat
ladies show..." You might check out thier cookbooks to
see if you can find the recipe...

Panini means "little bread" doesn't it? It sounds like
the bread is either small focacchia or ciabatta. Both
are rather flat, and the focaccia can be flovored with
herbs and other things. But both are used for italian
sandwiches. The sandwiches we got in Italy were either
on small rolls, or little squares of focaccia. there
are tons of focaccia recipes out there, ciabatta is a
little harder to find. But both are good, and you can
make small focaccia. I'd try www.allrecipes.com, or do
a search on whoever your favorite itlaian chef is.
baking is a big part of italian food, so most of them
have good recipes in their cookbooks, several should
be online. Good luck.
